    Thank you Cameron for the suggestion, <br>
    <br>
    We would be happy to include stable version 1.0 of pycsw to the disk
    :)<br>
    <br>
    This version is already tested in OSGeoLive 5.5beta1 and works fine.<br>
    In case we decide to officially include it, we just need to link the
    documentation files and translate.<br>

      Angelos, Tom,<br>
      <br>
      In preparing for osgeolive 5.0, I suggested that pycsw was
      probably not mature enough to be included in OSGeo-Live.<br>
      <br>
      I'm interested to understand how the project has matured since
      then.<br>
      If the project is ready, we will need to quickly review and update
      the documentation so it can be translated.<br>

        Angelos,<br>
        It is great to see interest from pycsw in joining the OSGeo-Live
        stable of quality applications.<br>
        <br>
        My initial feeling is that it would be great to include pywcs in
        a future release of OSGeo-Live, but as pywcs is still only at a
        0.1 release, without wide uptake yet, it is premature to include
        pywcs into the next OSGeo-Live release.<br>
        <br>
        I believe that we have developed a reputation that if an
        application has been deployed on OSGeo-Live, then someone can
        expect that it has been deployed in many different locations,
        and tested by many different organisations. Hence, users can be
        confident that they will be unlikely to uncover any bugs by
        running standard operations.<br>
        <br>
        Feel free to suggest that I have mis-read the project, or argue
        otherwise.<br>
        <br>
        One option that we could potentially consider is including a
        pywcs install script on the DVD, but not call the install script
        from our main.sh install script. This would mean that pywcs
        would not be installed on OSGeo-Live, but it would be easy to
        run the pywcs install script and get pywcs installed if required
        by an expert. Would this be of interest?<br>
